There is no $4,000, 900, estate noB
any other estate awaiting the Ameri-
can Sands family in England, and the
same may be said of every other fami-
ly, and yet thousands OF dollars are
yearly expended to learn this fact,
which has been often officially COM
municated to our government.

the general rule laid down by the fourth
section would necessitate their abandon
ment of some classes OF business In
which their competition with wa
ter transportation ia now OF pnbli0
Importance. The railroads must either
be allowed 20 compete with vessel owners,
and make low charges for that purpose, or
they must leave vessel owners In the pos
session OF business without the check upon
charges which competition would afford"
The commission - OF the opinion that con
grcSS had these circumstances IN view In
passing the law. Competition with Cana
dian roads may, it Is believed, present ~ case
OF disSlmilar circumstances and condition.
Whenever such roads compete with roads
in the United States for business between
one part OF the country and another,
state OF circumstances arises as to such
business which justifies American roads
meeting such competition by correspond
ing reduction OF rates, without regard TO
the fact that in SO doing the rates between
terminals may be reduced below the rates
TO aad from intermediate places, which are
otherwise reasonable and just, The
fact that American roads are
left free TO meet such competition Is AS
surance that no war on rates will be waged
by Canadian roads. The ease ia which
competition batween American r0ads will
snort haul clause are very few; but one
such is that OF the railroad extending from
Pittsburg, Pa, parallel TO the Pennsyl-
vania road as far as Youngstown, thence
to AshtAbula, Ohio, where, through con-
nection with the Lake Shore itgives to the
people Of Pittsburg and Youngstown COM
petition with the Pennsylvania road in
their business to and from New York and
New England. This route Is somewhat
roundabout but il the long
and short haul clause is construed
Pittshurg. Other roads are similarly sit
mated, like certain north and south roads,
such as that from Circinatti TO Toledo
and that from New Albany to Chicago,
when forming links in eRstbound traffic.
They make a smaller charge for longer
haul because their direction compels it,
The commission reserves freedom to de-
eide without prejudice applications from
these roads.
WHAT WILL BE poNB.
The commissioners soy they were unnni-
nous in the opinion and conclude it as
follows:
The order for temporary relief made in
favor OF petitioners will be allowed
to remain In force until the

five. Temporary orders made in some OF
these petitions will in like manner be per-
mitted to remain In force until the expira-
tion OF the time limited in each. No
further orders will be made upon any petit
tions, for, although two or three OF the
cases may not by facts reeited in applica-
tions for relief be brought strictly within
the principles above discussed, yet they all
present what are claimed to be digerent
and conditions adequate to
authorize exceptions to the general rule;
and If petitioners are persuaded the TACT
is as they represent they should aos 40

We have passed the 20th milestone of
our journey as an organization; success
has come wherever the field has been well
prepared, the crops carefully tended and
the sheaves safely garnered. The great
need of our order now seems 70 be to let
the world know that we "still live" that
we have come to stay, and the order of
Patrons of Husbandry has not only done
more up to this time for protecting and
advancing the true interests of the far

At the last meeting of the Pomona, the
reports from the different subordinate

character. New members were constantly
coming in and the interest among the
older members lively and increasing.
Many Of the intelligent and progressive
farmers of the county are active members

tiUuN their know ledge and experience in
agricultural and other matters are great

APPETIzERS.


About four miles out Of birmingham,
Ala, We came across a stretch OF road
about four miles long which was q foot
deep with red clay mud. We had to
ride our horses along the edge OF it,
and then it was a job to pull through.
On the far side, about fifty feet from
the solid road bed, We came upon q
colored man with his mule and cart, the
latter loaded with wood and stuck fast
in the mud.
The man wal seated by the roadside,
while the old mule wal chewing away
at a heap Of brush and grass which had
been cast before him.
"StuckP" asked n Of the party as
we drew rein.

Just at evening Of the second day We
saw him come into town with the load,
the mule being plastered clear to the
tips of his ears.

very low he said:

much handling Of the sheets of paper con

great saving in cost of insurance has been
effected by the adoption Of this plan. the
value of the mass of copy to the publish

cost of the negatives being not more than
$500. And no money received from an
insurance company In ease Of destruction
